The dynamic duo of Leslie Odom, Jr. and MorningNewsBeat’s Kevin Coupe had the audience intrigued. It's not easy to be original, tell compelling stories and draw your audience in. But these two gentlemen shared tangible tips that we can all put into practice, no matter what our product is.

Being in the presence of a man who can inspire others to greatness was mesmerizing. Peyton Manning was humble, humorous and connected his experience to our industry. The Salad Maker MVP, Bruce Taylor, helped bring the points home to give us something new we can all use in our business.
